Vintage Japanese Vase (SKU 25D-081)

Showa-era celadon sphere vase with striking crackle glaze

This vintage Japanese vase presents a beautifully balanced spherical form finished in a soft blue-green seiji (celadon) glaze. The entire surface is animated by an intricate kan-nyu crackle pattern, the fine grey lines creating a web of movement that contrasts with the calm, watery tone of the glaze. A circular mouth set at the shoulder adds a contemporary sculptural feel while recalling the refined minimalism of mid-Showa studio ceramics.

Ideal as a single statement piece on a tokonoma alcove or modern shelf, this 1970s Japanese pottery vase works equally well for minimalist ikebana arrangements or as a purely decorative object. The original tomobako (signed wooden storage box) underscores its studio provenance and makes it a thoughtful gift for collectors of Japanese ceramics and wabi-sabi interiors.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
